Hey guys so I did a retrofit into my bugeye and the high beam light keeps on showing up as I turn on the headlights I'm not sure what the problem might be. Anyone got any clue on what it could be or experienced it before and knows how to fix it?

Retros are the Mini H1 Projectors with single bulbs. *I know that bugeyes use Hi/Low beam bulbs*

I am running universal relay harnesses with the DRL disabled.

 

so just the cluster bulb is on but the highbeams aren't?

 

Yeah and they dont work

 

Do you leave your fogs on?

 

Fogs are not on they dont even work with the projector but I'm not worried about that because I'm going foglight covers if I fix the high beam problem

 

if the high beams aren't firing, it could be a fuse or you switched the connection somehow so it's not grounding.

 

Fuses were all good checked all of them as for connection I'm unsure because everything were plugged up correctly so I still dont know whats possibly wrong. Did you run into a similar problem?

 

Did you get the dual hi/low bulbs? You will lose high-beams if you didn't get the dual bulbs, and on my 04 Forester the high-beam indicator light was on all the time even though the high beams were not.

 

dual bulbs don't work with HIDs.

I think I know why. Did you splice in the wiring harness for the spring cutoff/shield mechanism for the high beam inside the projector? If so, did you remember to switch the red and black into the stock harness? Remember the subarus are reverse (switched) grounds on the headlights so red= ground, black = power. The projector hardness should have red going into black and black into the red.

If you didn't wire in the high beam switch, I have no idea. My blobeye has separate hi/low so I didn't wire up the projector highs.

 

No i didn't do that, that's probably why its not working ill try that

 

Yea do what Jourdan said. Its a common error for HIDs on our cars. I had to do the same

 

Alright I'll do that and keep you guys updated

 

Tried it and it still doesnt work any help? Or maybe I wired wrong someone mind taking a look at it? Lol

 

Do you have a volt meter? If you dont, it would deff help

 

Yeah I have one
